I need to replace my drivers side window motor. I can't find any instructions or diagrams on this procedure in the knowledge base. Does anyone know where I can find a good Changing Window Motor guide for Dummies? I am worried about damaging the glass mostly. Thanks.

My 88 money pit is mad at me and won't start if it sits even a few days without first needing the battery charger. It just needs hooked up for a few seconds and I hear clicking noises all over the engine compartment and the interior lights and dash lights come on. The battery is 2 yrs old. I...

I'm getting new head gaskets and valve job done. Now would be a good time to dress up the motor with some nice valve cover. Most of the new ones I see for sale just have the small holes for pvc and breather. I need one side to have a oil filler hole and pvc hole and the other side for a...

I took my car for a drive Sunday and the waterpump died. I hadn't driven it in 6 mths so that may have had something to do with it. My question is, has anyone tried a high flow pump from Stewart Components. If so, how is the quality and does the high flow really make any difference? I would...

Last summer I put in a new battery and at the 3rd cruisefest (Bowling Green) c4c5 specialist adjusted my throttle body. I only drove it a few time since then. Yesterday I had to use the battery charger to start it. While it was idling it died but caught itself almost instantly and kept on...

Last week I put a new battery in since the old one was dead most of the time over the winter. Yesterday I drove it to work as a test prior to B.G. I have a 105 mile commute and figured that would give it a good workout. About 20 miles from home it died but the check engine message never came on...

I drove 700+ miles to Bowling Green without a problem. While there I gassed up and within 2 miles or less my idle became uneven. It would drop to 600 then speed up to 1100. I drove back with no real problem other than the idle. Now, after 3-4 fresh tanks of gas it is worse and has started...

re:to do it myself or not-that is the question I bought a set of upper and lower ball joints for my 88. The service manual shows how to change them by removing the knuckle joint. Is that really necessary? I never did ball joints before so I am looking for any advice before I start this. Harbor...

re:shocks How do you torque down a bilstein shock when the center shaft turns with the nut. I'm thinking about jacking up the shock so its compressed to see if that helps. Anyone know to lock the shaft or do I have a bad shock?

What is a Z 16? Is is an advanced zo6? I'v been call dealers looking for leftover z06's. One place said they have a z16 that they removed the hood decal from for something different. After i hung up i realized that i am no sure what a z16 is.

My 88 has never had the famous headlight problems so I didn't pay too much attention to those threads so now I need advice. They worked fine until I left the interior lights on and several days later I had a dead battery. When I hooked up the battery charger I heard loud clicking coming from a...

I have an 88 with 87,000 miles. I have to replace my mufflers to pass the state inspection, but, since I have the classic registration it doesn't need the emission tested. My mechanic says I don't even need to keep my catalytic converter on. I am tempted to have it removed but I have read that...

A friend asked me what a 1978 vette with 10,000 miles and very good condition is worth. The original owner wants to sell it. He doesnt know if its auto or manual. Anyone have an opinion. The owner may put it up on ebay or maybe I'll make an offer if its really nice.

I bought a set of metal car ramps at Advance auto that the box said were 9" wide. My front tires are 9 1/2" so I didn't think 1/2" would matter. Wrong. Apparently from the weight of the car they splay out to almost 11" and are way too wide. Also it was obvious the air dam was going to hit also...

Looking to get new wheels for my 88. AFS sells their wheels on e-bay. They have good feedback. They offer the 17x9.5 for the front & 17x11 for the back. Has any one tried this combination? I think it would look nice to have wider tires in the back. Will it effect driveability in any way? Also...

took the vette to dealership for state inspection. Steering column had a little play & since it needed dimmer switch replaced, asked them to tighten it. They charged about $400 labor. Now the column has more play and even goes sideways. Also the turn signals dont turn off on their own now and...
